ARIDY NOX

AriDy Nox is a multi-disciplinary black femme storyteller with a variety of forward-thinking creative works under their belt, including the historical reimagining of the life of Sally Hemings BLACK GIRL IN PARIS (2020), the ancestral reckoning play A WALLESS CHURCH (2019), the cross-generational magical realism FRESHWATER PLAY (2020) series, and many others. AriDy creates out of the vehement belief that creating a liberated future requires a radical imagination. Their tales are offerings intended to function as small parts of an ancient, expansive, awe-inspiring tradition of world-shaping created by black femmes and with black femmes at the center.
